Warfaring Strangers: Darkscorch Canticles. USA


I can't get enough of these 45/7" compilations. This one features 1970s hard rock and early heavy metal bands. Almost every track a winner, with great riffs, solos, and sinister vocals. I'd love to find some of these 45's, but woooo, off the charts rare. Maybe I'll find a couple of them in someone's garage one day. I'm sure they are all out on YouTube because of this comp. Sample a couple to see what I mean about the quality, and then buy this. Well worth your collection space.

Ownership: CD: 2014 Numero Group. While there are some great compilation labels, none are better than Numero in my estimation. The fact that they provide full histories of each group, including their respective participation, is nothing short of extraordinary. They really work hard on these comps. There are two tracks - one each by Wizard and Medusa - that are album cuts, the latter an archival release from Numero themselves. But the rest are hyper rare singles.
